Declassified CIA Cartography Maps from the 1980s

# Summary Declassified CIA maps from the 1980s reveal the agency's sophisticated cartographic approach to Cold War intelligence, including detailed maps of Moscow (1980) and Yugoslavia (1981). These maps used precise color coding and grid systems to highlight strategic infrastructure, transportation networks, and administrative divisions for policymakers and analysts monitoring geopolitically critical regions. The Yugoslavia map is particularly significant as it was created shortly after Tito's death in 1980, when Western intelligence was concerned about potential ethnic tensions and instability within the multinational federation.
